Chapter 397: Final Goodbye!
The affairs of the capital are basically dealt with, for Lu Zheng, the process is very tortuous, the ending is not bad, in this case, to get a good result, Lu Zheng in addition to his own efforts, but also thanks to the gift of chance.
Nie Yong came again, this time his attitude eased a lot, and he didn't talk to Lu Zheng about the topic of the prince's lineage, but said:
"Brother Zheng, it's thousands of miles away from Longyou, and the north is not as bad as the south, life is bad, bitter cold and drought, you have to take care of your body!"
Lu Zheng said: "Thank you, Master Nie, don't worry, I'm not so delicate, this time I went to Longyou, it can be regarded as the emperor's grace, I went to run an errand, as long as I do the errand well, it doesn't hurt to be tired and hard!" ”
"Yes, yes! Indeed it is! Nie Yong nodded again and again in agreement with Lu Zheng's words, and at this moment, the envy of Lu Zheng in his heart can be said to be beyond words.
He remembered the situation five years ago, when he offended Dai Gao, at that time he was simply worse than death, in the entire capital, he didn't have a place to go, his dignified two Jinshi, tired like a lost dog!
Now Lu Zheng has also offended Dai Gao, but the scenery is infinite, even if he goes to places such as Longyou, everyone feels that Lu Zheng has a bright future in the future. Before Nie Yong came this time, the prince had instructed him to treat Lu Zheng well and deepen the friendship between the two as master and apprentice.
In addition to Nie Yong, the King of Qin also arranged a steward to come over, and this steward gave Lu Zheng five hundred taels of silver, as well as ready-to-wear cloth, which was all a reward from the King of Qin to Lu Zheng.
The day before, Lu Zheng was still the object of others' falling stones, and after one night, Lu Zheng became the fragrant bun that everyone was chasing.
Lu Zheng saw nothing except Nie Yong, he didn't see any other people, and Lu Lun went to deal with them, and he himself was in the backyard preparing to pack up and leave Beijing soon.
Ying'er has been busy for many days, this heartless girl, when she heard that she was going to Longyou, not only was she not panicked, but she was happy, according to her thoughts, there were three big cars to pack her luggage and walk around, Lu Zheng couldn't cry or laugh.
Later, Mrs. Zhang understood the reason and came to arrange it in person, and after some compression, there was still a large car of salutes that Lu Zheng had to bring for this trip!
A large cart saluted, plus Ying'er and Nie Xiaonu, two beautiful girls accompanying him, the boy Lu Zheng left him in the capital, and the rest of the people were the master guards arranged by the boy, and these people would always escort Lu Zheng to the destination.
Nie Xiaonu came back to serve Lu Zheng, naturally because of the master's instructions, of course, she herself did not resist this errand, but she was very happy in her heart.
She is a girl after all, her nature is still there, and Shadow gets along well with her, allowing her to see the world beyond the sword. Of course, the girl's spring heart is budding, and it is an indelible fact that she has a good impression of Lu Zheng, all this trip to Longyou is a happy event for the two girls!
For Lu Zheng, there is another person he must visit, and this person is Zhang Chengdong.
Zhang Chengdong and Zhang Rong are different, in Lu Zheng's eyes, Zhang Chengdong's open-mindedness and talent are incomparable to the rest of the Zhang family, although he is just a businessman and has no fame, but the Zhang family is supported by him alone.
Since Lu Zheng's accident, Zhang Chengdong has never appeared again, and it is obvious that he can't do anything that falls into the ground.
The grace of dripping water, when the spring reciprocates, if Lu Zheng is not recommended by Zhang Chengdong in Yangzhou, he would not have had the opportunity to get acquainted with Yan Lao, nor would he have had the opportunity to be able to enroll, so as to get acquainted with Luo Shi and others. Lu Zheng was able to rise rapidly in Yangzhou, and Zhang Chengdong's help could not be ignored.
Zhang Chengdong did not live in Zhang's house in the capital most of the time, but lived in a business, and it was very convenient for Lu Zheng to see him.
"Uncle, the business of your business is getting bigger and bigger, if it weren't for the fact that the Dakang Dynasty does not encourage business, I would like to open a business like you, be at ease, eat a lot of food, and travel all over the world, how good are these days?" Lu Zheng said with a grin.
Zhang Chengdong smiled and said, "Brother Zheng, don't you want to travel around the world now as an official?" How much do you know about that place in Longyou? Longyou is not better than Jiangnan, do you know? ”
Lu Zheng said: "Of course, Longyou is in the northwest, the land is barren and the population is sparse, where can it compare to the land of fish and rice like Jiangnan?" ”
Zhang Chengdong shook his head and said: "Born people, raised by the earth, for the common people, wherever they are born, they have their own way of survival, which is not worth saying."
What I want to say is that Longyou is the Longyou of the imperial court, but it is not the Longyou of the imperial court, do you know this? In the Longyou area, there are mainly two wealthy families, namely the Song family and the Qi family, and the officials at all levels in Longyou are from the imperial court, but the country is these two families.
As an official in Longyou, you must not only maintain the relationship with the imperial court, but also maintain the relationship with the Song and Qi families, do you know this? ”
Lu Zheng was slightly stunned for a moment, a look of shame appeared on his face, and said: "Uncle, I'm really embarrassed, I've been concerned about the affairs of the capital recently, and I haven't paid attention to the affairs of Longyou."
What you said shocked me, from now on, I have to change my role, and now I am already the seventh rank official of Longyou. ”
Zhang Chengdong said: "If you go to Longyou, Dai Gao will definitely not give up, as long as he gives the Song family and the Qi family a little instruction, I am afraid that your life over there will not be easy, so at present, you must take precautions, think of a good countermeasure, everything is premeditated, and if you don't prepare, you will be wasted. ”
"Yes, uncle, don't worry, since I dare to go to Longyou, I must not be completely bottomless, although Dai Gao is powerful, but he and Longyou's forces are not the same heart.
I believe that with my own ability, I will be able to cope with these difficulties, and after two years, I will definitely have a great harvest when I return to the capital! Lu Zheng said seriously, and he said this with extreme confidence.
Zhang Chengdong nodded lightly and said, "Although my uncle has been incompetent over the years, according to you, he is still a little pioneering in business. Our Zhang family's business has touched Longyou, there is our business name in Liangzhou Mansion, I will give you a jade talisman, you hold this thing, at a critical time, you can let the Zhang family's Liangzhou business all obey your command, you can call the resources over there at will. ”
After Zhang Chengdong finished speaking, he handed Lu Zheng a small jade talisman, the jade talisman was inconspicuous, very shabby, and the color was not very sufficient, Lu Zheng was slightly stunned, and took the jade talisman in his hand, he could feel the weight of this thing.
Zhang Chengdong said it lightly, imagine how much the Zhang family paid to do business in Liangzhou? This piece of jade pendant is equivalent to handing over the huge business of Liangzhou to Lu Zheng, and this gift is very heavy.
But Lu Zheng did not refuse, everything Zhang Chengdong sent was something that Lu Zheng could use, Lu Zheng's trip was not easy, since Lu Zheng had already received Zhang Chengdong's favor, he didn't mind receiving one more time.
Zhang Chengdong smiled lightly, and sighed secretly in his heart, the Lu family has Lu Zheng, and the family has great hope. Lu Zheng is not only outstanding in his own learning, a first-class talent, but also his luck is extraordinary, which is really enviable!
Looking back at the Zhang family, the Zhang family is declining from generation to generation, originally in Zhang Chengdong's generation, several brothers are still a little talented, but they happened to meet the first emperor to do something to the Jiangnan power valve, they are hindered by their background, and they have not come out in this life.
When it comes to their next generation, where are there any talents in Zhang Haoran's generation? The decline of the Zhang family is unstoppable, and there is no chance of reversing it, and I have to say that this is a great sadness.
Zhang Chengdong suddenly thought of a poem written by Lu Zheng: "Success or failure turns empty, how many things in ancient and modern times are ...... to laugh and talk about" Life is short, like a white horse passing through a gap, and the world in the future belongs to young people.
Lu Zheng said goodbye to Zhang Chengdong's heart, the only person he was worried about was only one person, but at this time he couldn't meet him, he asked the boy to drive to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and went around the Prime Minister's Mansion for a week, after all, he didn't muster up the courage to go to the door to post, so he returned to Lu's house happily.
……
Xiangfu, Dai Gao is resting today, and he spends most of his time in the small study as usual.
Dai Gao loves to read, likes to study, has a lot of books at home, although he is busy with government affairs, but he has never delayed reading.
After reading for a day, Song Fuer waited outside for a day, serving tea and water, snacks at noon, shouting for warmth, Song Fuer paid attention to every detail.
What affects Song Fuer's mood is not these things, but the constant news coming from outside, all bad news, how can Song Fuer tell Dai Gao!
Until it was time to have dinner, Song Fu'er couldn't hold it back, and said: "Master, at noon today, Lu Zheng'er went out of the front door, and then went directly to the northwest. ”
"Hmm!"
Dai Gao snorted lightly, noncommittal, he still lowered his head to eat, Song Fu'er couldn't understand the master's intentions, and his heart was bottomless.
"Anything else?" Dai Gao said.
Song Fu'er swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked a little nervous, and said, "Also, that ...... Haha, you said that this kid surnamed Lu is not ridiculous, he actually asked people to send a large package of medicines, these medicines can't see the ingredients clearly, they are all honey pills, saying that this is a good medicine for the treatment of Miss's disease.
Hehe, Miss's illness has been cured by all the famous doctors in the world, and his surname is Lu, where does he know what medical Taoism is? The minion thinks he clearly has ulterior motives! ”
Dai Gao's brows furrowed deeply, he snorted fiercely, and said, "Since you know that you have ulterior motives, what else do you say?" I have a good meal, so you don't feel at all, hum, old thing, the older you get, the more confused you become, and the older you get, the more you look back, it's really a disappointment! ”
After Dai Gao finished speaking, he stood up, threw away the chopsticks in his hand, and went straight to the backyard in a huff. Song Fu'er's forehead was full of sweat, but she didn't dare to follow, the bitterness in her heart was really indescribable!
